One of the funniest things I ever saw boating involved a Force motor. My buddy had a force motor and his battery had gone dead. I was in my V with some friends and offered him a jump but he said it was easier just to pull start the motor. He took off the cover wraped the rope around the fly wheel and gave it a tug. Before we realized what happened we saw this big part go flying and splashed into the water. We look back at the motor and his fly wheel was that object flying through the air. It snaped right off the crank shaft (I think its the crank shaft). I looked back at him and said now I know why they call it a Fly Wheel. I felt bad for him but the 4 to 5 people in my boat and the couple in his were laughing and just could not stop.
